The Video Game Years – 1978 Part 1 – Space Invaders & Bally Astrocade

The Video Game Years 1978! The exclusive RetrowareTV.com show that examines the history, culture, and the oddities of video game history will have you learning, laughing, and scratching your head as we examine all that transpired in our favorite hobby’s past.

Yeah but just in the end card – the intro’s spelling is correct. Just have to switch that out when I do a slight update soon (and add the coming up section once I settle on which segments will be in part 2)

Finaly i can stop playing pong and move onto something else………. but is it a requierment to have your uncle present to save the earth from invaders that just so happen to come from space? If so how do i avoid this 😛
but great vid guys, really looking forward to the next instalments for 1978 (or as i call it “Herx – the sperm years”………. it’ll catch on soon).
and before Roses can say it *ahem* “I think i just ca-…………… no…. no… that was just scolding hot coffee” 😛
Once again though, great video, and while im waitting for the next installment i’ll just go convert my room into a space invaders store. I mean it’s not like the arcades of 1978 are going to crash or anything soon 😛

That’s Starship Amazing’s new Retroware TV theme! Derek and Calvin made this following the TVGY premiere at MAGFest.

We’re finalizing the order of the next segments so we left it off until we figure it out but we’ll add it soon and repost then tweet when it’s added. We wanted to get this out ASAP.

I was going to ask too.. would have been less harsh about it. Just being a curious Internet geek. Love those guys and the shows they do and it’s not a problem at all. Hope no one takes it personally. And by all means keep these things going. Can’t wait till the 80’s.

I have this awful habit that causes me to take about an hour and a half to watch these videos. Every 3 minutes or so I have to rewind and re-watch in order to obtain as much trivial knowledge as possible. I hate being a trivia junkie sometimes……….

I simply love that you guys had MLR and DMP in this one. I REALLY hope you guys pick up his show like you did The Game Chasers. I think they would be a very nice addition. As always, Retroware.tv fucking rules.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me the artist and song playing out the credits. I’ve checked all 3 sites listed (and bought a Starship Amazing album in the process) but I cannot find this particular song…
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
